| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
